CVE-2022-49477 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: samsung: Fix refcount leak in aries_audio_probe of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done. If extcon_find_edev_by_node() fails, it doesn't call of_node_put() Calling of_node_put() after extcon_find_edev_by_node() to fix this.. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
